Friday Favorites, March 27, 2015 | Faith and Composition
Sweet friends, I am literally giddy with excitement that I will be attending the HopeSpoken conference this weekend. I have heard nothing but rave reviews about the event, and this year’s conference sold out fast! I was a little late on the draw, and couldn’t snag a ticket. But a few days ago, the lovely Bonnie Rush of A Golden Afternoon hosted a giveaway for one conference ticket. By some strange combination of grace and sheer luck, I won the ticket. Thank you again, Bonnie, for hosting such a gracious giveaway!

I can’t wait to share the details with you, and I am excitedly looking forward to filling up on Jesus and getting the chance to fellowship with like-minded women, many of whom I’ve befriended through blogs and Instagram but have never personally met. It will be such a blessing to finally get to meet so many of these women face-to-face.

In honor of HopeSpoken, I’m featuring four conference vendors/contributors to share with you for today’s Friday Favorites. Each of these ladies creates products of impeccable artistry, and they have a beautiful heart for Jesus. Go check them out!

1. Better Life Bags exists to empower women through the creation of gorgeous custom bags. Based in Detroit, they employ low-income, often first-generation-immigrant women to craft the bags, thus giving these women a skillset and an income. Love their mission!

2. Thirsty Hearts Design is a little Etsy shop by Angela Poston that will breathe life and hope into your heart and your home. I especially adore her art prints and her wood signs. 

3. The Felt Flower Shop creates jaw-dropping floral creations out of felt. The succulent boxes and wooden letters are absolutely darling!  

4. Joyful Papery brings beauty into the everyday with her hand-lettered paper designs. Her sweet sentiments and watercolor creations create a contagious sense of joy.

Have a great weekend, friends! I’ll be back soon to share about HopeSpoken and to talk a little bit about Easter!

Three years ago, my brothers and I with our famili Three years ago, my brothers and I with our families met at a vacation home to surprise our parents for their 70th birthdays. It’s still one of my favorite memories, and the older I get, the more I realize what a true gift it is to simply have everyone beneath one roof.

Don’t looks away. Don’t silence the headlines. Don Don’t looks away. Don’t silence the headlines. Don’t close your ears to the anguished cries of people created in the image of God.

Now more than ever, bring these people before the throne of God. Get on your knees and pray with fervor for the people of the Middle East. For their protections. For their freedoms. For their wholeness. For their salvation and their sanctification. 

Pray that the darkness would be banished and the light would dawn. Pray that the Gospel of Jesus Christ would go forth. That it would take root in hearts across the region and bear fruit. Pray that chains would drop, that slaves would be set free, that captives would be liberated. Pray that the goodness and the grace of Christ would saturate the hearts of people who are living in darkness. 

And do not tell me that prayers don’t work. Because ultimately the struggle in the Middle East is not against flesh and blood. It’s against “the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. (Ephesians 6:12) And the only way to fight a battle against the spiritual forces of evil is to get on our knees and fight it with the tools of spiritual warfare. 

(This isn’t a political post, and comments that seek to incite political hate one way or another will be deleted.)

For the one who feels like you don’t measure up … For the one who feels like you don’t measure up … at home, at school, at life, at work. Consider these three things, then set your mind on Christ.

1️⃣ Where am I finding my worth?

It’s easy to define our worth by the world’s standards … success, wealth, influence, intelligence. But these standards will always leave us empty because they rely on WHAT we are, not WHO we are. When we allow our worth to be defined by who we are as a child of God and a daughter of the king, it radically changes our understanding of our value.

2️⃣ What voices am I allowing to speak into my life? 

Are we constantly listening to voices of the world? Or are we seeking the truths of scripture and the life-giving affirmations of other believers?

3️⃣ Am I cultivating a heart of gratitude? 

It’s tempting to feel like we don’t measure up when we fail to cultivate gratitude for what we do have and for the intricate ways God has gifted us. When you start to feel the threat of comparison or inadequacies seeping in, combat it by thanking God for all he has so graciously gifted you!
